Cartridge World sees profit increase in economic turmoil

Despite unfavourable economic conditions, there still some business that thrive, mentions the web portal www.kndo.com. Cartridge World stores all across the U.S. are reporting higher sales numbers. The two local branches, one in Kennewick, and one in Pasco, report a 9% increase in 2008. They've already seen an even bigger jump in sales in the first two months of 2009.

President of the Tri-Cities stores, Kay Brewer, says companies that are helping people save money, are the ones doing well in today's market. She says everyone is trying to save money, and buying recycled print cartridges is just one way. Brewer explains, "They're around 30% to 40% off of what a new one is, and the best part is that you don't have to wait when you come in. We have them ready to go, so it's one trip; you save gas too."

Brewer calls Cartridge World a "recession proof" business. She says more companies and schools are turning to them to save money, instead of buying brand new toner, which costs more.

The company is doing so well that they are opening a new branch in Walla Walla in May, and they've even hiring.
